What is something you have been holding inside?

i’m not suicidal but honestly i think about not existing all the time. like if i just stopped being here... it wouldn’t hurt. it’d almost be a relief.

i love my son more than anything. he’s the only reason i’m still here. but i’m so tired. deep tired. like my soul is worn out.

my wife gets mad at the world and i’m always the one who gets the heat. i try. i take care of our son, i give her breaks, i work, i do everything i can but it never feels like enough. like she’d be better off if i just vanished.

i’m not gonna hurt myself. but if something happened and i was gone... i don’t think i’d fight it. i don’t wanna die, i just don’t wanna feel this empty anymore. i just wanna be seen. heard. anything.

I'm so fucking tired of being the "strong one." The one who keeps it together while everyone else falls apart. Do you know how exhausting it is to constantly put your own pain aside so everyone else feels okay? I break too. I cry too. I want someone to say, “You don’t have to handle it all today.” But no one ever does. Because they think I’ll always figure it out. What if I don’t want to?

No one cares. No one cares that i'm so cool, and funny. And that I have a large ass. Fine. Its fine.

Why are billionaires launching rockets while the planet literally burns? I recycle and use paper straws and still feel like it means nothing.

Why does no one talk about the pain of growing apart from friends? One day you’re inseparable, and the next it’s “we should catch up sometime”... but you don’t.

The judgment in parenting is unreal. Screen time, food, school. I'm just trying to keep tiny humans alive and semi happy back off.

“We’re like a family here.” No, we’re not. You wouldn’t fire your brother over PTO or make your sister work weekends for free pizza.

Tired of pretending everything’s perfect online. It’s fake. I’m not smiling 24/7. I’m barely holding it together. And that’s okay but no one shows that.

I can be in a room full of people and still feel completely alone. It’s like no one actually listens they just wait to talk.

How is rent more than a mortgage, groceries are double, and my paycheck hasn’t moved an inch in years? This is survival mode. No one’s “thriving” anymore.
